Before I donated a kidney to my son 15 yrs ago, I didn't know the 1st thing about donating and didn't know anyone who'd donated. The book I wish had been available back then is now out! I co-wrote it with a kidney recipient. Check it out.

It’s really not that hard to get this right: Today, Donald Trump appeared at a closed McDonald’s, put on an apron, and for a short time handed out food to pre-selected supporters of his campaign who had practiced how to use the drive-through.

My latest blog post is an update on the #EndKidneyDeathsAct, a proposal to offer tax credits to living kidney donors who will donate to a stranger in need. Check it out. https://t.co/Wh7buo9ded

A few months ago I wrote here about a movement to offer tax credits to nondirected kidney donors–that is, healthy, eligible candidates who are willing to donate to anyone in need through a U.…

Ignoring Trump’s rapid mental downswing is almost as bad as ignoring his indictments, his conviction, his pathological lying, and his snake oil sales. Something they’ve also done. But it’s not too late: https://t.co/WINgmKycgc

This ‘sanewashing’ of Trump’s statements isn’t just poor journalism; it’s a form of misinformation that poses a threat to democracy. https://t.co/txrqfI7jUH

The political press’s efforts to rationalize Trump’s incoherent statements are eroding our shared reality and threatening informed democracy.

Reading this was excruciating. WHY DO WE LET THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO OUR CHILDREN??? The @GOP members of congress who refuse to protect the lives of our kids by regulating firearms are NOT pro-life. They are COMPLICIT in the deaths of innocent people.
These are text messages, exactly as they were written and sent, between a mother and her two daughters during yesterday’s shooting at Apalachee High School. The family shared the texts with The Washington Post. Both daughters were unharmed and now safe.

I am calling bullshit on Trump being considered a serious candidate for President. This speech was full of completely off the wall moments. He is clearly gone, unwell and should be taken off the trail. It's ridiculous that this isn't a central part of our discourse now.
Q: What specific legislation will you commit to to make child care affordable? Trump: Well, I would do that and we're sitting down, you know, I was, somebody, we had Marco Rubio and my daughter, Ivanka… But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about
